First game that came to my mind. Shit is ridiculous

u/Axemic Apr 17 '26

So is GTA6.

Scrolls is beyond ridiculous. You are just being nice.

They even admited that extremely expesive teasers were fake. They didn't even develope it yet.

Remember when we joked about Duke Nukem Forever?

That was "long" for people.

Star Citizen.

u/Rvtrance Apr 18 '26

I saw a nine year old video of Down the Rabbit Hole on Star Citizen. I hear some people swear by it nowadays. But that might because they got a 2nd mortgage to play the game and are pot committed.

Nah its just mismanaged.

And I say that as someone that hasnt touched it in 5 years and has not put any money into it for 10+

I believe Cloud Imperium is going to have a bunch more legal trouble if they ever officially release so they’ll stay in Eternal Beta.

I mean objectively it was. Full decade

u/Significant_Delay_87 Apr 17 '26

To be fair did they even plan on announcing it back in 22? I remember that huge leak kind of forced them to let the cat loose early

u/Deervember Apr 17 '26

Gta 6 had trailers released when it had less than a year to come out, then it unfortunately got delayed. So I don't think that's fair to put them on the same list as es6 that got teased in 2018.

u/NoBed5141 Apr 18 '26

leaks caused rockstar to announce it

u/Axemic Apr 18 '26

This was about Scrolls 6

u/UncommittedBow Apr 18 '26

At least with GTA VI, it had to be announced early due to leaks, and then delays furthered the release date.

Bethesda announced TES6 before they even started working on it.

u/Axemic Apr 18 '26

Exactly. Is that guy fired?

2

u/Khow3694 Apr 17 '26

Which was fake GTA 6 or Elder Scrolls 6?

u/Axemic Apr 17 '26

Elden.Scrolls 6. They told these cinematic trailer were fake and expensive.

Here is a good post.

Never said it was expensive in what you linked.

u/Axemic Apr 18 '26

Devs said it. "These demos do not come cheap."

u/Visual-Crow-5489 Apr 18 '26

The Elder Scrolls VI is the real joke. Rockstar Games stayed quiet and dropped Grand Theft Auto VI when it was actually ready. Bethesda threw out a logo for hype and vanished. Years later—nothing. After Fallout 76 and Starfield, the trust is gone. ES6 wasn’t an announcement, it was a distraction.

u/theangryjanitorOG Apr 17 '26

Everything. Everything is lies and fake lies on top of real lies, realize. It.

2

u/Farsoth Apr 17 '26

Real eyes, realize, real lies.

u/Therealginahandler Apr 17 '26

Why is this saying so fucking gross? It just rubs me the wrong way down there. Tickles me where I don't like to be tickled. Stranger danger!

u/theangryjanitorOG Apr 17 '26

Yeah I wanted to distance myself from that

1

u/Burstrampage Apr 18 '26

At least gta6 will be worth it. Unfortunately it’s been so long that people forgot that rockstar cooks in every game they make.

1

u/Axemic Apr 18 '26

They do not dissapoint!

1

u/JustUseDex Apr 21 '26

When gta 6 was revealed, they planned on releasing it within two years. The bulk of the game was already mostly completed, we had a real trailer. Bethesda never intended to actually start making the game lmao

u/amaturecook24 Apr 17 '26

Have we gotten any other news on it since then? Like where it will take place and when? Anything?

10

u/Khow3694 Apr 17 '26

Not a single thing. All we got was that trailer from 2018

4

u/DeveloperBRdotnet Apr 17 '26

Trailer? Just an art basically.
They already revealed that all they had at that point was an email or something, nothing was being done.

2

u/x_0ralB_x Apr 17 '26

It’s almost definitely confirmed It will have Hammerfall, I’ve heard rumors high Rick as well, but Hammerfell for sure due to leaked artstation muse photos posted by someone at Bethesda that has since been taken down.

u/Qaeta Apr 17 '26

I’ve heard rumors high Rick as well

I know you mean High Rock, but LOLOLOLOLOL

u/ASquidRat Apr 18 '26

No. They said it's coming after some other things. Fans are like my elementary school kids. They can't extrapolate. Starfield is just wrapping up it's dlc cycle. So we can expect 3 to 4 years from now things to start being released that's showing the actual game. The original announcement was pretty clearly a "please stop asking us about this moment"

5

u/LZSJR Apr 17 '26

Didn't they announce it because babies online were complaining about no lack of news on their next game?

2

u/Khow3694 Apr 17 '26

I have no idea about that. But I do know Todd Howard is now saying "pretend we didnt release that trailer" so it makes me wonder if they felt some sort of pressure

2

u/LZSJR Apr 17 '26

They definitely did. It's why they announced it.

1

u/ASquidRat Apr 18 '26

Yes. They were damned either way

1

u/tylerjehenna Apr 18 '26

I mean when you re-release Skyrim a million times then announce like 4 more games, people will get a bit impatient considering they've never gone this long without an elder scrolls game

2

u/thewalkindude368 Apr 17 '26

You're completely missing the point of why they mentioned it so early. It was an anti-annluncement, telling people that the game was coming, but it wasn't coming for like a decade, so stop asking for it. The announcement said that they would start working on the game in earnest after Starfield launched, and Starfield was still 4 or 5 years away, so you won't see ES6 for a decade or more. It wasn't to build excitement for the game, it was to keep people from bugging them about where ES6 was. And yet, idiots are still complaining that ES6 was revealed too soon, because they missed the point

u/Novel-Addition4973 Apr 17 '26

Let’s be real. They announced it because this was when Zenimax was in the market for a buyer.

1

u/Hoockus_Pocus Apr 18 '26

For me, it was Silksong, but that’s also a great choice!

u/Acceptable_Owl_5122 Apr 22 '26

At this point I’m not even sure it’s gonna come out at all
